Lightweight bikes have always been and always will be a hot topic in cycling. There are few sports or activities out there where you will find its participants so determined to shave a few grams from their equipment, and it’s this obsession that has fuelled decades of innovation, with brands constantly striving to create lighter, faster, and more efficient machines; This year's Scott Addict RC is the latest realisation of that innovation.

The Scott Addict is not a new name in cycling, with the first model being released almost two decades ago in 2007, and in the years following that, the bike amassed countless wins, its most notable season in 2009 where it collected 87 1st place finishes in total with a host of standout results under Mark Cavendish in one of his early years at team Columbia.

• Then a few years later in 2014, they produced the Scott Addict SL which was the first ever production frameset to weigh in at below 1kg. But now, the 2025 Scott Addict RC range seeks to raise the bar on its performance past.

Available in five different specifications, the Scott Addict RC is prepared to offer lightness, comfort and speed to cyclists across a range of price-points. 

• With the first-tier RC 30 coming in at just under 21,000 AED, professional-level performance is more attainable than ever. 
• To maximise comfort, this bike offers clearance for tyres up to a generous 34 mm and a cleverly engineered two-piece seat-post borrowed from Scott's Foil RC aero bike to help reduce road vibration and smooth out rougher terrain. 

Further proving that this isn't just a bike designed for racing, you'll be able to benefit from a handy multi-tool neatly stashed in the end of the drop bar for adjustments to all of the bolts on the bike.

Utilising new carbon moulding techniques that took inspiration from their mountain biking know-how, along with advanced manufacturing techniques to reduce unnecessary filler material on the inside of the frame, Scott have shaved 300 grams from this frame when compared to the previous generation while making no compromises when it comes to handling, stiffness, and overall performance. All of this culminates in the flagship 2025 Scott Addict RC Ultimate model which tips the scales to a feathery 5.9kg, making this bike one of the lightest off-the-shelf bikes ever produced.

No modern race bike is complete without tidy integration, and the Scott Addict RC is no exception to that rule. 

• A newly designed IC-R100SL one-piece handlebar will keep your cables and hydraulic hoses out of the wind thanks to re-designed and refined internal cable routing. 
• Moreover, the cockpit now features a slight flare at the drops to help your fingers meet the brake levers at a more comfortable angle and an adapted top section to aid in aerodynamic performance while keeping the weight low. 
• This handlebar also gets a revamped and slimmed-down clamping system to save further grams and is available with stem lengths of 70-140mm and bar widths of 36-42cm.
